The Master of Science in Medical Physics (M.S.M.P.) program equips students for successful careers as medical physicists, aligning with guidelines set by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine. Dedicated full-time students can typically finish this program within eighteen months.
This graduate program offers both a Master of Science in Medical Physics (MS MP) and a Doctor of Philosophy option through the nuclear engineering PhD track. It emphasizes radiation applications in medicine, especially for diagnosing and treating illnesses. Alongside the conventional on-campus MS curriculum, a distance learning version of the MS MP program is available to support working professionals. Many practicing medical physicists from government agencies and private sectors engage in this video-based educational opportunity.
The applicant is expected to have a bachelor's degree with two years of college mathematics (calculus I through III, plus differential equations), one year of physics (calculus-based), one semester of general chemistry, one semester of modern physics (calculus-based, equivalent to Georgia Tech Phys 2213), one course in engineering-based computer programming (equivalent to Georgia Tech ME 2016), and one course in anatomy and physiology (equivalent to Georgia Tech BIOL 3751). An applicant who does not hold a bachelor’s degree in physics or applied physics is expected to have completed fundamental physics course equivalent to a minor in physics. All applicants are required to take the GRE exam. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required.
The minimum score for graduate admission required by Georgia Tech is: IELTS: 7.0 Overall Band score and minimum Component Band scores of: 6.5 Reading, 6.5 Listening, 6.5 Speaking, 5.5 Writing,
